Conflict risks are increasing. Addressing them before they escalate is central to Australia’s security.

In our latest major policy brief, the Lab’s William Leben and Martina Zapf, outline a three-pillar integrated framework that could serve as ‘Australia’s Model’ for conflict prevention.

Leaders and policymakers have long taken pride in Australia’s conflict prevention and peace building successes. But without explicitly articulating an approach to conflict prevention, Government might be at risk of geostrategic tunnel vision.

“The time has come for the Australian government to define an Australian Model for conflict prevention, encompassing and integrating deterrence, diplomacy and development.”

This is what the Lab’s, William Leben and Martina Zapf, said in their latest piece for Lowy’s The Interpreter.

Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Penny Wong emphasised conflict prevention as a priority during her speech at #ASEAN, and just last week, Prime Minister Albanese reinforced the same at #UNGA.
